Our Short Time in Canada


Wndmill Point Campground in Fort Erie, Ontario, was our first stop. The TransCanada Trail runs right beside it. So we had to walk a few miles on it.
Our next stop was Toronto, where we spent three days in a city park nursing our sick dog. She had succumbed to too many treats from her baby(dog)sitters at Niagara. No pictures of Toronto or of Lake Ontario from the Canadian side.
Next stop was Kingston, ON, a military town at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River at Lake Ontario.

City Hall was amazingly ornate. The mayors had a tradition of adding a link to the decoration shown around the neck of the mayor in the picture. After awhile it got too heavy to wear. Ft. Henry is on the hill. The old railroad station is across from City Hall. Kingston was the first capital of Canada, later moved to Ottawa a few miles north.
